Overview
- Alberta’s government, which tabled the bill Thursday, proposes year-round daylight time branded “Alberta Time.”
- If it passes, Albertans would skip the Nov. 1 clock rollback and face darker winter mornings but brighter evenings.
- The Northwest Territories says it will follow Alberta, joining Yukon and B.C. on fixed clocks, and Saskatchewan would still use standard time yet share Alberta’s clock all year.
- Manitoba is weighing a change, Ontario’s 2020 law ties any switch to Quebec and New York, and Nova Scotia says it would only move with nearby provinces.
- Sleep experts favor permanent standard time and warn of late sunrises, while event and broadcast leaders caution that games, shows, and cross-border schedules could shift later.
